The latest strategy of Myanmar army and government on Arakan is very much unlawful

Myanmar or Burma abhors Arakan National on the ground of racism. Therefore, from time

to time, Myanmar is oppressing Arakan National by not giving the same rights and freedom as Myanmar or Burma.

From generation to generation, Arakanese people are still suffering from persecution of Myanmar in every field under the oppressive rule of Myanmar. Due to Myanmar Army’s offensive attacks against the Arakan Army in Northern Arakan –western so-called Myanmar – where there are nowadays nearly 50,000 Internally Displaced Persons without sufficient shelters, food and cloths.

These IDPs are to leave their homes and villages when Myanmar Army shells bombs and torches villages after Myanmar Leader Aung San Suu Kyi directs her notorious Myanmar Army to launch operation against the Arakan Army which is given birth to free Arakan from Myanmar by Arakanese people.

Local media writes that  ‘for children from refugee camps, the most important matter now is how to live in their shelters during rainy season; school is not priority number one’. Children have not any accessories to go to school with. “We are now struggling to get food on a daily basis, so we can’t afford to let them go to school. We don’t know what the government will do yet. My daughter is a grade five student. Right now, we can’t do anything to help her go to school,” U Hla Maung Shwe from Kan Sauk refugee camp said.

The Myanmar army extended another two more months of bilateral ceasefire in northeast but excludes Arakan Land to crush Arakan Army and to oppress Arakanese people.

At the same time, by shutting down internet in Arakan,Myanmar government is arresting more and more people while entire region is blackout.

Arakan Army spokesperson’s brother-in-law and two other villagers are arrested in Ann township, Arakan. Besides, Myanmar army has filed formal charges against AA Commander General Tun Myat Naing, Lieutenant General DR Nyo Tun Aung, Col. Kyaw Han, Spokesperson Khine Thu Kha, and Central Committee Member San Shwe Aung.

Due to Myanmar embassy’s instruction, the Singaporean police and immigration arrested Ko Aung Myat Kyaw (younger brother of the AA chief) and Ko Tun Aye this morning, according to the Arakanese community in Singapore at 6 am on 10 July. 

On the other hand, Myanmar government is sending its troops to Arakan more and more and every village in five townships, northern Arakan , are being attempted to seal off all accesses to villages Therefore, villagers are running out foods while they are unable to come out from villages.
